Best Answer

A mixture of the standard Human Flu, Bird Flu and Pig Flu. This creates a new strain of flu called Swine Flu (Influenza A H1 N1).

Does the current Novel H1N1 Swine Flu contain elements of avian flu?

Yes. It does contain genetic material of Avian Flu in addition to three types of swine flu and also human flu viruses. (Avian flu is also called "Bird Flu"). When a virus mutates like this one did in pigs with five different genomes in the virus, it is called a quintuple reassortant (also known as reassortment) virus.The three types of swine flu genetic material in the A-H1N1/09 pandemic flu are American swine flu, Asian swine flu, and European swine flu.


Are the flu and Swine Flu the same?

No, Swine Flu is just one strain of the many flu viruses. Flu is an abbreviation for influenza. So Swine Flu is a type of flu, but all flu is not the swine flu, there are other kinds.

What are the four phases of Swine Flu?

It is not a combination of four viruses in swine flu, only the one H1N1/09 virus. You may be thinking of the four types of genetic material contained in the genome (virus DNA or RNA hereditary information) that are found in the H1N1/09 virus. These contain the genetic material of the virus and help in identification of the specific virus and the origins of it. Swine flu (H1N1/09) contains genomes from four types of flu, this is called a quadruple reassortant (or reassortment). It indicates that there have been changes in the original virus with introduction of new genomes to create the new form. The four types of flu reassorted in the pandemic swine flu are: Eurasian swine flu, American swine flu, Avian flu, and Human flu. Some scientists prefer to call it a quintuple reassortant and list it as five by breaking down Eurasian swine flu into the original two genomes that combined to form it, Asian swine flu and European swine flu.
